2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

He was only popular with people outside of NY who had no idea who he was before 9/11...

He was elected mayor twice, both times before 9/11 (which happened only a few months before the end of his second term). After 9/11 he was never elected to any office again, despite his efforts.

Did you just now figure out the two party system usually results in a general with two options who are unpopular?

Congrats? I guess someone figures it out every day....

As a matter of fact, he was popular.

Right before his re-election,

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's approval rating has edged up to an all-time 68 - 28 percent high, matching a record of 70 percent of New Yorkers who are "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" with life in the city, according to a Quinnipiac College Poll released today.
